Baby Poop, Part Deux

Baby K paid a visit to the pediatrician yesterday (yes, there was blood in her stool again). We even kept a sample of the soiled diaper (and I had M take a picture of it), unfortunately it was all dried up by the time we brought it in, so the doctor couldn't get it tested. She said that most likely, baby K is allergic to something I'm eating, so I am to stay away from all dairy products for the next few weeks. Hopefully she's right and baby K will be okay after this.

While we're on the topic of dirty diapers, I must reiterate how much I despise Huggies! We had another pack to finish up (M had purchased two packs when it was on sale), and I got so frustrated with all the leakage and changing baby K's outfit every three hours that I would purposely waste the diapers just to get rid of it. It's ridiculous how there would be more pee or poop on her clothes than there was on the diaper! Fortunately, we are down to our last few from the pack of 44 and I've already moved on to the box of Pampers when changing her overnight.

sorry to hear about the bloody stool. i hope it is nothing serious and w/ your change in diet, that this will stop happening. i'm glad you questioned the nurse as i can't imagine how much more irritation the bacteria in the yogurt could further cause to K's digestive system! argh! anyway, i hope everything will be fine soon.
